I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,

"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"

"Aside from presenting Match of the Day.."

"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

Members of my family were tortured and killed in the Holocaust because countries like Britain said it wasn't their problem. Everyone said never again. And here we are. It's sickening beyond belief.

It is true that by the time Healey comes in and the CoA has ruled the government had to address the basis of their judgment and right to life arguments. Thatโ€™s clearly what the Rimmer review was for. He deserves credit for finally ending this absurdity.

To be fair to him, he ordered a review, read it & removed the injunction.

It was the Tories in power when the leak happened, then they covered it up to try & blag another election, leaving the new govt w/ an even bigger economic black hole & further endangering the Afghans

The secret court that silenced the News Agents...until now
YouTube video by The News Agents The secret court that silenced the News Agents...until now

Two governments took The News Agents to secret court for two years via a constitutionally unprecedented superinjunction to stop you from hearing this story.

The MoD is responsible for a data leak that put up to 100,000 Afghans at risk of death.

Jason Delgado (Florida Capitol reporter for Spectrum News 13) on X: "Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz." What is shown in the picture is a long tent structure, about 50 feet wide. There is a corridor running down the middle. On each side are three rows of bunk beds. The bunk beds are sectioned off into cells which are constructed out of chain link fence, with chain link on the ceiling as well, making each cell a literal cage. It looks to me like each cell contains 9 bunk beds, so has capacity for 18 people each.

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.

Major Donor to Reform U.K. Party Sold Parts Used In Weapons to Russian Supplier The aerospace company H.R. Smith Group was an early backer of the party after Nigel Farage became leader. Reform has faced criticism over comments seen as supporting Moscow.

Major Donor to Reform U.K. Party Sold Parts Used In Weapons to Russian Supplier.

The White House is hosting Conor McGregor today, who the Irish High Court ruled four months ago assaulted and raped a woman.

Press Secretary Karoline Levitt says the Trump Administration "couldn't think of a better guest to have on St Patrick's Day."

He will be meeting Trump later.

Iโ€™m a relatively-recent member, who joined in revulsion of the Telegraph, Rees Mogg et alโ€™s campaign against the NT. I have no plans to leave, but significant regrets about my many years of missed scone opportunities.

The Telegraphโ€™s been reproducing versions of this same story for years. Wokeness and a โ€˜recipe for a crisisโ€™ in membership. But National Trust member retention is higher than comparator organisations despite the cost of living crisis, and visitor numbers have been increasing.

Introducing: The Musk Watch DOGE Tracker New tool reveals Musk has overstated verified DOGE savings by at least 92%

1. The DOGE website is garbage.

The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided.

And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract.

So we just launched our own site โ€” the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker โ€” that breaks everything down.

I've never seen a nation torch its reputation the way Musk and Trump are torching that of the US. Every day they find a way to make a new segment of the world population detest them. Makes Brexit look like a PR triumph.
